The World's First Open Source RISC-V-based 32-bit μC

To make a long story short, we’re extending the Open-V campaign by 45
days and hope to release some exciting news very soon to justify this
extension.

Here’s the long version. We’re about to hit our original campaign
deadline and we’re only 8% of the way to meeting our original funding
goal of $480K. It’s been great to see how many people support the open
silicon cause and the technical merits of the Open-V, but the
grassroots momentum behind the project isn’t yet enough to carry it
over the finish line, even with a generous 45-day extension of the
campaign.

So, what do we expect will be different by extending the campaign?
Ever since we launched the campaign, we’ve received not only a lot of
public support, but also a lot of private interest. We’ve been in
talks with several organizations and people who could significantly
boost the Open-V project. While we haven’t made any firm agreements
yet, we hope and expect to announce some soon.

What does all this mean for you? First, you can be sure that the
openness of Open-V won’t be at all affected by any agreement we
make. Second, you might actually get a more fully featured Open-V chip
than originally planned. Third, though we’re extending the campaign,
it shouldn’t have an effect on the actual delivery dates - we’re
continuing work as originally planned. Finally, and the whole
justification for the campaign extension, we believe the organizations
and people we’re talking with can significantly help reduce the cost
of development and therefore increase the chances of the campaign
succeeding.

We realize this isn’t how the campaign was supposed to go, but we’ve
learned a lot, uncovered a lot of possible collaborations, and are
working with Crowd Supply to make sure this extension goes
smoothly. If you’ve already backed the campaign and would like to
reconsider, simply contact Crowd Supply’s support team.
